Lecturer in Environment and Development at @GlobalDevInst (Pre) Ass. Prof. of Human Geography, @NTNU. Tigrayan, I write about #TigrayGenocide and more.
There is only so much one can say about a complext crisis as the one #Tigray faces in a 3000-word piece, but here is an article that traces the systematic production of famine as part of the #TigrayGenocide campaign. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
“We are so hungry we don't even have spit left in our mouths”, says a farmer in famine-stricken parts of Tigray. @POTUS @JosepBorrellF @PowerUSAID @SFRCdems @RepKarenBass @helenhayes_ @MarkWarner @wallacemick @JBorgstam #StopTigrayFamine
Imagine the current US Government trying to save Ethiopian Universities while destroying its own. The truth is that , this is just a game, a Safety Net for its monopoly over Ethiopians future.
On July 21-22, representatives from eleven leading #Ethiopian public universities came together for a workshop focused on strengthening alumni engagement as part of the Public Universities Autonomy initiative. Participants from each university shared insights and experiences…
🚨 William McNeil’s violent arrest in the U.S. has gone viral 🚨 All officers who use profiling and excessive force must be held accountable. Nobody is above the law. Everyone has the right to justice.
The absence of a positive response and the refusal to demonstrate goodwill have cast a perilous shadow of impending catastrophe over the region. This apprehension is further amplified by overt threats and bellicose rhetoric.

In America, people will be paid to take drugs 🤓

Congratulations! Proud of you for smashing this on top of everything that you’ve been doing in documenting the #TigrayGenocide. @GebrekirstosG, founder and director of @TghatMedia is one of the few people I have deep appreciation for.
I’ve completed a long and arduous PhD journey. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, honored my defense with your presence, or sent kind words and congratulations. Your support means a great deal to me.

This is what colonial violence and war by other means looks like. As Fanon (1961) in "The Wretched of the Earth" writes, the colonised “town is a hungry town, starved of bread, of meat, of shoes, of coal, of light.” Tigray faces genocide by attrition.
The unavailability of fuel in Tigray should have been concerning. For a long time, fuel has not been entering Tigray. Bajaj drivers buy fuel for more than 250 birr per liter. It is not hard to imagine how this strains the community and also public services in Tigray.
